About me

A Romanian born in Cluj-Napoca, who spent a long time in Boston and currently living in Basel
I love history and archaeology, especially related to Dacians and Romans, the founding nations of Romania
Other interests include birdwatching, ecological restoration, nature conservation, space exploration and astronomy
Created WikiProject Dacia, WikiProiectul Dacia (in Romanian) and Commons:WikiProject Dacia to better organize the content related to ancient Dacia
Maintaining WikiProject Romania and created Commons:WikiProject Romania
I despise deletionists and people who spend their time, energy and effort to delete and destroy others work (often without any attempt to communicate), instead of creating and collaborating. They are usually the same people who attempt to force their views down the throats of others.
Striving to keep neutrality in my work and judgment, and above all an open mind.

Current projects

I am a member of many projects, but currently focusing most of my efforts on:

WikiProject Dacia - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Dacia and Dacians. We need help expanding and reviewing many articles, and we also need more images. Feel free to join!
WikiProject Romania - aimed to better organize and improve the quality and accuracy of the articles related to Romania. Maybe you are interested

Picture of the day

The collared lory (Vini solitaria) is a species of parrot in the family Psittaculidae. It is found in Fiji, where it inhabits tropical forests but has also adapted to urban environments, including the capital, Suva. Measuring around 20 centimetres (8 in) in length, it has bright scarlet underparts and cheeks, a purple crown and greenish upperparts. It feeds on fruit, seeds, nectar and blossoms, and is usually found in pairs or small groups. The species nests in tree hollows, sometimes using holes in rotting coconuts still attached to trees. Its colourful feathers were historically prized and traded between Fiji, Samoa and Tonga. This collared lory, perched on an octopus tree, was photographed in Colo-i-Suva Forest Reserve in south-eastern Fiji.Photograph credit: Charles J. Sharp
